Elon Musk: 'Propagating super intelligence to the stars is a great success condition for a biological bootloader'

Posted Oct 5, 2026 00:37 UTC (Oct 4 in the US), quoting @alx's "Elon was calling it SI in 2014". The post had ~2.7M views and ~12k likes on Oct 5 (fxtwitter). Benzinga framed it as a reversal of his August 2014 tweet: "Hope we're not just the biological boot loader for digital superintelligence. Unfortunately, that is increasingly probable." It came during the SpaceXAI → SpaceXSI rename thread (see 2026-10-04-elonmusk-no-more-ai-si).
